Story
Getting the Mystic Soul was easy just like I imagined. But here the game gets a bit trickier…
I have never been to Bohn, one of the few main cities in the region. So far everything has
gone by the plan, but during my years of thieving I have learned to expect the unexpected.
And this time too I have a somewhat bad feeling of things to come. According to Lord
Gillian’s diary this Mystic Soul that I stole from him is cursed. A few lines in some noble’s
diary isn’t very convincing so I hope to stumble on some additional information.
The Mystic Heart is the reason why I am in here, it is located inside one the main
establishments of the city - the Baronial Museum. The museum is filled with valuables from
different eras and cultures so security will be tight, however any guards patrolling the streets
shouldn’t bother me unless I do something foolish. I was able to find only a simple map
meant for museum visitors, it doesn’t show staff areas but it’s better than nothing.
In addition to the gemstone I am also going to find some valuable information about
my…targets. There is sure to be some research notes in the museums archives. Once I have
finished everything I have to get out of the city before dawn breaks.

Important!
-This mission is heavy so expect some slowdowns on older hardware
-You can walk through the red felt ropes. Guards and other NPCs can do the same too!
-Turn fog ON for better visuals
-Fog can look very different depending on your monitor. If you can see only greenish haze
then it’s best to turn the fog OFF
